What is Biretix?
Biretix is a holistic skincare range specifically formulated to purify, treat, and care for oily and spot-prone skin that’s clinically proven to rapidly reduce blemishes without causing irritation.
Created by Cantabria Labs – experts in dermatological research and innovation and the creators of the global sun protection range sensation Heliocare – Biretix offers a dermatological skincare solution to help improve the symptoms of oily and spot-prone skin and boost skin health at every stage of the spot cycle, helping to reduce blemishes and oiliness, prevent and reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring, and maintain skin health to prevent future breakouts.
Exclusive technologies, unique formulations
Biretix strategically combines innovative technologies with carefully selected active ingredients to purify, treat, and care for oily and spot-prone skin. Its core active ingredients and technologies include:
RetinSphere Technology
RetinSphere Technology is an innovative patented skincare technology developed by Cantabria Labs. This technology combines two retinoid compounds - Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) and Retinol in glycospheres - designed to enhance skin renewal and provide the benefits of retinoids while minimizing irritation, a common side effect associated with traditional retinoids. RetinSphere Technology is particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone or sensitive skin by helping to increase cell renewal and preventing clogged pores.
BIOPEP-15
BIOPEP-15 is a unique antimicrobial peptide complex also developed by Cantabria Labs designed to target and reduce the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin. BIOPEP-15 contains oligopeptide-10, a short chain of amino acids that exhibits potent antimicrobial properties. This peptide specifically targets and inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacteria responsible for causing acne. By reducing the presence of P. acnes on the skin, BIOPEP-15 helps to prevent the formation of new acne lesions and reduces the severity of existing breakouts.
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugarcane. It is one of the most popular and widely used AHAs in skincare due to its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate the skin effectively. Glycolic acid is known for its excellent exfoliating properties, making it a key ingredient in many skincare products designed to improve skin texture and treat various skin concerns, including acne.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is derived from the bark of willow trees. It is a well-known and widely used ingredient in skincare, particularly in products designed to treat acne and other skin conditions. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which allows it to penetrate deep into the pores of the skin, making it exceptionally effective for treating acne. Salycilic Acid helps in the treatment of acne by improving exfoliation and removing dead skin cells, unblocking pores and helping to dissolve excess sebum (oil).
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of Vitamin B3. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is commonly found in foods like meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, and cereals. Niacinamide is widely used in skincare products due to its versatile benefits and suitability for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Niacinamide helps in the treatment of spots by helping to regulate sebum, enhance the skin barrier, reduces redness and inflammation, and improve hyperpigmentation and skin texture. It also has anti-bacterial properties.
